Globally, indiscriminate disposal of plastic is at the front burner, even as the United Nations estimated that about 5.25 million plastic particles weighing 268,940 tones are currently floating the world oceans. In Nigeria, the Women in Logistics and Transport (WILAT) has raised the alarm on the threats to oceans and aquatic life, calling for proper disposal and recycling of plastic wastes to protect the marine environment. She however called on the governments at all levels to enact laws banning the single use of plastics in Nigeria to reduce the wastes. We as women in WILAT are using this opportunity to sensitize the society about the use of plastic. Proper disposal of plastic is actually an area we should focus on if we want development in logistics.
